I love to have a slice for breakfast with a dollop of whipped cream and a hot coffee.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

For the Chocolate Glaze:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for shine)

Directions

• Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
• Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
• Combine Wet Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
• Combine Mixtures:
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).
• Bake:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Cool:
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the Chocolate Glaze:
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. If desired, add butter for extra shine.
• Glaze the Cake:
  • Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
